[QUOTE="technologist, post: 745971, member: 4134"] You can [b]never[/b] be absolutely sure what will happen when you send a Word document to someone else. Word is designed for word processing, not for laying out documents consistently. If you're sending out documents to people, you'll have about as much luck with Word 2004 on a Mac as with any other version of Word. Every version of Word from 97 to 2004 (and even 2007 and 2008, sort of) uses the same format, but they all interpret it differently. Plus, there are font issues, page setup issues, and differences in how embedded objects are handled on each individual computer. If you want things to be consistent, use PDFs. Otherwise, go with the flow. [/QUOTE]
